A review by sarahweyand
Flawless Girls by Anna-Marie McLemore
Did not finish book. Stopped at 52%.
Thanks to Feiwel & Friends and NetGalley for providing me an e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and feedback are my own.
I'm always here to try out a book where the synopsis gives off Gothic or dark academia vibes. I enjoyed a good part of what I read, but at the 30% mark this book began to drag and get too repetitive for me. Anytime it takes me almost a week to make a 10% progress jump on a book I have to consider jumping ship to avoid putting myself in a slump.
I did like the writing and I enjoyed the start of what seemed to be an extended metaphor that was going to carry throughout the rest of the book. I was interested in our protagonist and the plot of her missing sister, but the rest of the story seemed to lack the substance needed to keep it going.
I'd consider reading something else by this author in the future because I really did like her prose, but this one just wasn't for me.
